On an image contour compression method using compactly supported sampling functions

We propose a novel image contour compression method using compactly supported sampling functions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, we carried out experiments on a real life application using beef marbling images for an integrated database and display system to assist beef marbling evaluation. This method´s applicability, however, is not limited to beef marbling images but can be extended to other applications having the need for image contour compression
